lol why are people and acting like this is some sort of issue? Now I havent owned a console in maybe over 10 years but who tf looks forward for the next gen of consoles just to play games from 3 gens back?

like are these people pretending its an issue just memeing at this point? And if you are interested in playing games that old you should be looking into *gets modded*. Like its always been.

On top of that the people who whine about backwards compatibility are usually the types who pride themselves on their physical console/game collections so they already have those consoles anyways.

How is the lag on that btw? The recent Ratchet and Clank stuff has me interested in playing the PS3 titles.

Figures. Will still buy if PS4 backwards compatibility is nearly flawless and supports all PS4 games or almost all of them. The no PS5 initial price point yet thing is really pissing me off though. I get that Sony is a business and needs to make bank, but they should err on the side of caution and aim a bit lower than what they want and be reasonable about it, because if they can make the price low enough that'll make people go out in huge numbers to buy it this holiday season the initial install base could help them make more money in the long run as long as the console has great exclusive games.

I have a PS1, 2, 3 with 2 and 1 backwards compatibility and a PS3 without PS2 compatibility, so it's not a big deal to me. I can play my old games no problem. I do want to see to what extent the XBox will be supporting older games though. 360 supported quite a few original games and then the One supported less. 360 also has issues with Fatal Frame 1 and 2, which sucks since the XBox versions are definitive.

Maybe people who like to play old games would rather be able to do it on one system instead of five. Clear up some clutter and all.

They did that with PS3 but then people complained about it being $600 and didn't buy it.

Because they want to play amazing games they love? As well as new ones.

If you buy a PC you don't have to keep the old one to play older games.

Played the first two Splinter Cell games on Xbox earlier this year and had an awesome time. Looking forward to playing the rest of the series with HDR on Series X.

I love BC tbh. Plenty of older style games just aren't really made anymore so I often go back to an older game to change things up.

If you buy a PC you don't have to keep the old one to play older games.

Unless those games are updated to work on a newer OS, PC games from the 90s (and definitely from the 80s) often do not work correctly on a modern PC. Thankfully many fans make patches to fix a lot of this. Consoles are much harder because it's not just an OS issue, it's a hardware issue. Console games are made to work with a single set of hardware, the console, and so you have to emulate it at either a hardware (original PS3 style) or software (emulators) level.

Doesn't the original PS3 play all PS1 and PS2 games?

There's a Goodwill Electronics store in town that has a bunch of them for like $80, I might pick one up if it plays all my old games.

The original does, but that one is pretty rare and breaks easily. The odds of finding a working one for $80 are pretty low. And if you do find one you should consider recapping it if someone else hasn't already.

You can literally just stick a legal PS2 disc into a dvd drive on your PC and play it legally. Just because most people use Emulation illegally doesn't mean you have to do it that way.

There's multiple first-party titles/exclusives that they left on the PS3 and never brought forward, that isn't even a given.
